Details: For the adult without much background on the subject, I would recommend this bible. This Bible has the NIV version of verses, but then it also has some explanation of the verses. The nice thing with this is that the explanations are relevant and up to date to modern times. As I said its a good starter bible. It allows ones to immerse and gain a basic understanding of the bible. When you now have a grasp of what the bible is saying that you can start reading the other version, to understand the historical context of the verse, to understand why the verse is written that way.
Review Summary: An Exceptionally useful guide to understanding the Bible
Date: 2009-01-07
Details: This study bible is amazing. The Bible alone is tough to understand and therefore impossible to apply to everyday life. For those new to Chritianity it is an invaluable tool in understanding God's word, his promises, and the teachings of Jesus Christ and his Apostles. I would highly recommend this book to both people new in the faith and those more mature. It contains profiles and in depth descriptions of the main characters throughout the Old and New Testaments and suggests ways in which to apply what you learn to your everyday life. It explains key concepts clearly and precisely.
Review Summary: Hard Back, No Index
Date: 2008-12-22
Details: Read the description carefully! I would have preferred the version with an index. Also, this is not the leatherbound edition.
The study outline and footnotes are incredibly detailed and informative. Perfect for long term study! Still prefer leatherbound and indexed version!
Review Summary: Easy to understand

Details: Reading this Bible makes it so much easier to understand. The explanations are very helpful. I highly recommend this book to everyone. I bought this for myself and since then, have bought several more to give as gifts to friends.
Review Summary: Awesome Bible
Date: 2008-11-28
Details: This is the Greatest Bible ever. It explains verses in normal understandable terms in smaller text at the bottom of each page. The Bible also has an index in the back that lets you look up anything and everything you would ever want to know about.
